"I [am] moved by the spirit of optimism, of renewed dedication to our craft, of determination to hone our strengths, our willingness to help each other, our joy in each other's company and in our wonderful work." --Jessica Stockton of McNally Robinson, NYC, speaking about ABA's second Winter Institute, as reported in BTW, February, 2007

News for Booksellers

Bookselling is more than selling merchandise; it is taxes, and privacy issues, and trade terms, and literacy, and authors, and much, much more. ABA is committed to bringing news to booksellers through its blog, its online forums, its wiki, this website, and though Bookselling This Week. BTW is free, web-based, and the primary news outlet of ABA. It provides breaking news, coverage of key industry events and trends, bookseller profiles, updates on ABA and Book Sense, and in-depth feature articles about all aspects of bookselling.
